Outsourcing or supervising staff overseas
The game: Your company has locations or consultants abroad, but you can't afford international airfare to keep collaborating with your staff at those facilities.

Collaborative:
  • CITRIX: Offers GoToAssist, designed for technical support staff, allowing them to access - and make changes to - an employee's or customer's computer. citrix.com
  • GROOVE NETWORKS: Provides an asynchronous collaboration program that allows multiple employees in multiple locations to work on the same document, with all changes saved on a master copy. Acquired by Microsoft in 2005. groove.net
  • WEBEX: Allows employees in remote locations to share computer documents and make alterations in real time. webex.com
